"The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The first room we were given was already occupied but they quickly gave us another room. The TV was broken, ( the picture would not come in clear) and there was no one there who could look at it. We had reservations and stated we had 4 people staying, but there was only 2 towels in the bathroom. The pool was nice. My kids enjoyed it and said the water was a nice temperature, and the breakfast was good."

Ogunquit - The Milestone

Ogunquit - The Milestone

10/10 Excellent
"Nous adorons cet endroit qui offre le petit-déjeuner et qui est situé à 800 mètres de la magnifique plage de Footbridge. Il y a de bons restaurants à proximité et il est possible de découvrir Ogunquit et Perkins Cove à pieds (environ 4km). Le Marginal Way est également situé assez près pour faire une belle randonnée (facile) d’environ 8-10 km aller-retour à partir de ce motel. La piscine est grande et intime grâce aux arbres et arbustes tout autour. Il est facile d’aller (en voiture) vers Kennebunkport et sa plage (au nord de Wells) et également d’aller visiter York (au sud) et même les outlets de Kittery (environ 30 minutes de route). Pour nous, cet endroit est vraiment agréable et idéal pour passer 4-5 nuits dans le secteur de Wells/Ogunquit que nous adorons!"
